A delightful Italian-American comfort food combining crispy, breaded chicken, marinara sauce, and gooey mozzarella.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC).
  2. Mix the flour with salt and pepper in one bowl. In another, whisk the eggs until frothy. Fill a third bowl with breadcrumbs.
  3. Take a chicken breast, coat it in the seasoned flour, dip it into the egg mixture, and let the excess drip off. Finally, roll it in the breadcrumbs until well-coated.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Transfer the chicken cutlets to a baking dish. Pour marinara sauce over each piece and sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden. For an extra crispy top, broil for a minute or two.
  7. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For an appealing presentation, serve on spaghetti drizzled with olive oil. Pair with garlic bread and salad.
